Obsessor-In fear of the end

Tankcrimes
2012

Dear Brandon "The Obsessor" Ferrell,

I just listened to your new seven inch "In fear of the end" which is your third seven inch in a year. I am aware that you handle all the duties for this band and you do a great job. However, why do you continue to torture us by just giving us two tracks at a time? A new Obsessor release shows up for me and I get excited, then I listen and realize just as I am getting into it the music ends because it's just two short tracks. How could you do this to us? Teasing us with a mere two songs and that's it. Granted "In fear of the end" is a thick bludgeoning assault that that mixes early skull smashing hardcore like Discharge and the Exploited with early thrash. The vocals drip the appropriate amount of venom and anger as well. I admit the second song "Aftershock" explodes after a short introduction. Yes it does plow straight ahead combining the relentless energy of Broken Bones with some charged-up metal riffs. Admittedly I played both songs four times in a row because they were so instantly memorable and addictive. Furthermore....you know what, just keep doing what you're doing.

"So, in closing, fuck you METAL MARK. Fuck you, fuck Lynch Mob, and fuck your shitty website!”
